Accomplishments: Perez benefitted from the Tiger Woods Learning Center's academic-enrichment programs, and in return, volunteers his time to help tutor younger children in science and math. In addition to pursuing his studies in school and during special summer programs, he served his school as student body president, founded a photography club, created an anti-bullying program on campus and started two business enterprises – a photography company and an electronics-repair business.

Nomination essay excerpt: He has taken it upon himself to actively involve himself with groups on campus that support the growth of all students. He is intelligent, a person of great character, and he is always ready to take on a new challenge. A leader isn't just someone who makes decisions for others but rather someone who listens, discerns information, gathers information and data to make educated decisions, and cares for those that they serve. Edgar is all of these things.
